killed nurse macveagh says cabinet is with Taft on tariff i secretary of the treasury declares bond issue prob q ; able to meet 100,000,000 deficit on june 30 Â» b in the mind of franklin macveagh president taft's secretary of the treasury the whole tariff issue is to use his own words a fairly b open question o the secretary of the treasury will not amplify or explain further the Â° : closing sentence of his commercial club speech which has caused a furore c in washington and has thrown consternation into the camp of the followers â€ž of senator aldrich in the senate â€” the sentence that said it may become a at any time the duty of any great party leader to create for his party a new Â° majority and control b but the secretary of the treasury leans to the opinion that a bond issue t will be necessary before the Taft administration is many months older the secretary of the treasury does believe that with the tariff question p once settled oue way or the other the whole country will enter upon an era s of business activity and business prosperity such as never before has been c experienced a not surprised at washington's alarm but on the tariff itself the fight in the senate the possibility of a t fight to a finish between president Taft on the one hand and senator aldrich i on the other the prospect of the president taking a position that he him * self is greater than his party if necessary to bring about the settlement of * ahe tariff problem as he desires that it shall be settled of all of these 6 things not a word from the secretary of the treasury i mr macveagh did not seem to be very much surprised certainly he 1 did not seem to be disappointed â€” that his commercial club speech had " set official washington by the ears so to speak is that so he asked quizzically while just the suspicion of a smile i darting out from beneath the drooping white mustache and queer little i wrinkles made themselves manifest around the corners of his eyes j is that so he repeated again then mr vacvcagh read very carefully the dispatch from washing ' ton to the effect that political washington had read with wonder his Chicago speech that it was considered in the nation's capital as an ia ' spired utterance that it served upon the aldrich party in the senate for mal notice that the president expected a downward revision of the tariff i that it had caused senator aldrich to call an important conference of sen 1 ate leaders in the aldrich home last night and that it was considered in 1 washington as indicating that president Taft was ready and willing to 1 lock horns with the senator from rhode island on the whole tariff question , denies his speech was vised \ that faint suspicion of a smile was just a little more apparent when mr macveagh had finished the reading of the dispatch than it was before < he began j really he said in the most mild-mannered way imaginable and he looked and acted anything but like a belligerent who had bee.i selected , by his chief to sound a toostn of w ar really i cannot discuss these matters at all but there is one thing that you can say he continued and that is that the speech that i delivered at the commercial club banquet was not e vised and o k.d by the president i but mr secretary it would not be wrong to say that you voiced ' the sentiments of the president ln that speech as a cabinet officer com ing to the second city in the country to deliver an address before a rep , resentatlve body of men the president must at least have known hat you were going to talk about and to have at least

night that speech was more than inspired it was vised and o.k.'d byuhe-presldent him self before the secrefary ' left washington and that mr macveagh m this address re iterated the presidenfsr.bellef expressed m his convention speech that the Chicago platform promised a downward revision of the tariff is accepted here as formal no tice on the senate leaders that the presi dent expects a bill that will embody such downward revision it was only a weekÂ»ago>mhgt senatot lodge made a set speech denying that the Chicago platform promised anything of the kind a week or*so before that senator aldrich

concluded that i portion of his speech with these words i and yen and i must agree foe wet can i not escape the conclusion that it might i become at-anytlme the dutyofany great i party leader to create for hla^partaj anew i majority and control . . j i bombshell ii senate ranl v r f i the speech ha undoubtedly exploded a i bombshell m the ranks of tho old guard lof the senate an important conference lof senators was held at the residence of i senator aldrich to-night the senator de icllned to see any reporters and sent out i word that he would have nothing to aay i about the tariff and particularly the speech lof secretary macveagh what transpired i at the conference therefore is not known i but that a crisis has been reached in the i tariff debate is apparent on all sides i wild talk is being heard there â€¢ are i predictions that aldrich will throw : tip hhls hands and concede an honest down i ward revision along the lines indicated by i secretary macveagh down but not down i and out the assertion is made that the i bill will pass the senate this week i it is just as well to view the new sltua m tion in a reasonable manner however and i proceeding thus it can be said that the i president is not yet ready to exert the i power that is his as leader of his party i because he is not yet convinced that sen i ator aldrich means to trick him by an i insincere revision of the dlngley law i there are many about the president who i are convinced that aldrich is not toting i fair and they have not hesitated so to i inform the president but to one and all i the president

president taft's secretary of the treasury the whole tariff issue is to use his own words a fairly b open question o the secretary of the treasury will not amplify or explain further the Â° : closing sentence of his commercial club speech which has caused a furore c in washington and has thrown consternation into the camp of the followers â€ž of senator aldrich in the senate â€” the sentence that said it may become a at any time the duty of any great party leader to create for his party a new Â° majority and control b but the secretary of the treasury leans to the opinion that a bond issue t will be necessary before the Taft administration is many months older the secretary of the treasury does believe that with the tariff question p once settled oue way or the other the whole country will enter upon an era s of business activity and business prosperity such as never before has been c experienced a not surprised at washington's alarm but on the tariff itself the fight in the senate the possibility of a t fight to a finish between president Taft on the one hand and senator aldrich i on the other the prospect of the president taking a position that he him * self is greater than his party if necessary to bring about the settlement of * ahe tariff problem as he desires that it shall be settled of all of these 6 things not a word from the secretary of the treasury i mr macveagh did not seem to be very much surprised certainly he 1 did not seem to be disappointed â€” that his commercial club speech had " set official washington by the ears so to speak is that so he asked quizzically while just the suspicion of a smile i darting out from beneath the drooping white mustache and queer little i wrinkles made themselves manifest around the corners of his eyes j is that so he repeated again then mr vacvcagh read very carefully the dispatch from washing ' ton to the effect that political washington had read with wonder his Chicago speech that it was considered in the nation's capital as an ia ' spired utterance that it served upon the aldrich party in the senate for mal notice that the president expected a downward revision of the tariff i that it had caused senator aldrich to call an important conference of sen 1 ate leaders in the aldrich home last night and that it was considered in 1 washington as indicating that president Taft was ready and willing to 1 lock horns with the senator from rhode island on the whole tariff question , denies his speech was vised \ that faint suspicion of a smile was just a little more apparent when mr macveagh had finished the reading of the dispatch than it was before < he began j really he said in the most mild-mannered way imaginable and he looked and acted anything but like a belligerent who had bee.i selected , by his chief to sound a toostn of w ar really i cannot discuss these matters at all but there is one thing that you can say he continued and that is that the speech that i delivered at the commercial club banquet was not e vised and o k.d by the president i but mr secretary it would not be wrong to say that you voiced ' the sentiments of the president ln that speech as a cabinet officer com ing to the second city in the country to deliver an address before a rep , resentatlve body of men the president must at least have known hat you were going to talk about and to have at least

i and out the assertion is made that the i bill will pass the senate this week i it is just as well to view the new sltua m tion in a reasonable manner however and i proceeding thus it can be said that the i president is not yet ready to exert the i power that is his as leader of his party i because he is not yet convinced that sen i ator aldrich means to trick him by an i insincere revision of the dlngley law i there are many about the president who i are convinced that aldrich is not toting i fair and they have not hesitated so to i inform the president but to one and all i the president
